There are a total of 108 squares in the old town of Chang'an City, the most famous of which is Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is located in the southeast corner of the Imperial City. It is adjacent to Dongshi in the east, separated by two squares of Zhuque Street, an ultra-wide main road of 150 meters in the west, and Anrenfang, the most prosperous area in Chang'an City, in the north.

Pingkangfang is the place where the courtesans of Chang'an Jiaofang are concentrated and lived, and it is the most well-known red light district in the country.

Beili is the north of Pingkangfang, and Qu is the alley. Based on the basic zoning of Chang'an Chengli Fang, Pingkang Fang North is divided into three parts according to the streets and alleys, from north to south, which are Beiqu, Zhongqu and Nanqu.

Beiqu is a place where low-class prostitutes operate. Beiqu is on the northernmost side of the square, close to the wall of the square, and the shop on the road is small, just to make a living. Zhongqu and Nanqu are inhabited by extremely elegant Qinglou women.

Especially Nanqu, they are very good at color and art. Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in a separate attic stroking the qin and singing, can be with talented scholars to write poems and singing, and can travel side by side with dignitaries. The courtyard of Nanqu is beautifully built, with rockery gardens and garden pavilions. There are dozens of brothels, and there are nearly 1,000 prostitutes.

Pei Dilan lingers in Nanqu all day long, he has now received Li Yalan, the top brand of the Tibetan Xiang Pavilion, and Mo Xinqin, the top brand of the Red Sleeve Move, is still not satisfied, and continues to linger in Nanqu, looking for new targets.

Pei Dilan has big ambitions, although he is in the gentle township, but he is not just greedy for pleasure, he has his own purpose.

During Pei Dilan's time in Chang'an, he found that money was a very effective means, and the power of beautiful women, especially those who had been trained to be both beautiful and artistic, was also very powerful. He not only established his own business system, but also established his own spy network, in which he wanted to establish a beautiful spy team, and when he returned to Damascus, he would use money and beauty to win over a large number of ministers of the DPRK and China.

Mo Xinqin and Li Yalan are the teachers Pei Dilan is looking for, and he is ready to let them train a large number of beauties from the Great Food Country for him, so that they can play a role that men can't achieve.

The day of the Taishan Zen Ceremony has been set, it is May 26 this year, and after Pei Dilan, Hamid and Murong Bo attend the ceremony, they will leave Chang'an. Hamid is an old Chang'an, and he is not interested in the affairs of Beili, but Murong Bo was taken by Pei Dilan to Nanqu all day long.

Li You had to leave Chang'an early because he was going to conquer the Japanese slave country, and he felt a little sorry for Hamid, so he accompanied Hamid as long as he had time.

Northwest Palace.

That afternoon, Li You and Hamid were drinking wine and chatting.

Hamid was interested in crops such as peppers, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes brought back by the ocean-going fleet. Anyway, these things can't be kept secret, so Li You promised that he would arrange for him to try planting in the Tang Dynasty first, and then he would send a large number of seeds and technicians to Hamid.

The two then discussed the strengthening of maritime trade between the Tang Dynasty and Persia.

At this time, Pei Dilan and Murong Bo came over, and they had to take Li You and Hamid to go to Beili with them.

Li You smiled and said: "Lao Pei, Brother Murong, I and Lao Ha are not good at this mouth, you play with yours, just ask Tian Min for money." We're going to enjoy the food in the house, and we're going to have our own fun. ”

Hamid also smiled: "Yes, Lao Li and I are both foodies, and food is more attractive to us than beautiful women." Hehe. ”

Pei Dilan said: "That's not the case, alas, anyway, you can go with me and Brother Murong." ”

Li You smiled: "Look at your appearance, have you hit a wall?" It's impossible, you two are noble and romantic, how can you be rejected by others? ”

Murong Bo said a little depressedly: "Li You, don't say it, you were really rejected by others." ”

Li You asked curiously, "Is there anything else?" Let's hear it. ”

Pei Dilan said: "That's really the case, I'll tell you......"

It turned out that not long ago, in the famous Qinglou Xin Yage in Nanqu, Beili, there was a woman named Tuoba Zilan, who was said to have been born in the Northern Wei Dynasty nobles. This woman is eighteen or nineteen years old, beautiful as a flower, and has excellent talents.

These are not the most important things, this woman has a unique temperament, mature and pure, easy-going but unapproachable, simple with nobility, admirable but difficult to produce blasphemous thoughts.

Since coming to Xin Ya Ge, she rarely receives visitors, only meets guests at one hour in the afternoon every day, and has never been a guest in the curtain.

Moreover, even if she receives visitors in the afternoon, she does not look at the identity of the guest, but only receives the visitors who meet her requirements, basically in a certain aspect such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or poetry, etc., and it is rare for ordinary people to see it.

People who come to Kitasato are here to find excitement, and the harder it is to get it, the more attractive it is to chase it. So, after a large number of visitors were rejected, the woman became famous.

Not long ago, a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, in order to see her, spent a lot of money to buy off an official in charge of taxation in the household department, and forced the old bustard of Xin Yage to take the rich businessman upstairs to meet Tuoba Zilan.

The wealthy merchant gave the old bustard 100 yuan for the meeting, and the old bustard took him upstairs and waited outside the door.

After the old bustard went in, he talked inside for a long time, and it seemed that people did not agree. Later, the old bustard came out and said to the rich merchant: "For my sake, the Zilan lady agreed." ”

The rich merchant was about to go in, but was stopped by the old bustard, she said: "You don't want to go in, Zilan Lady said to meet you, if you don't want to, forget it." ”

The rich businessman spent so much effort that he wanted to meet her anyway, so he agreed.

Soon, the curtain of the door opened, and Tuoba Zilan showed her face and smiled at the rich merchant, and then the door closed, and the whole process took a second at most. 100 yuan is worth about 40,000 yuan according to purchasing power, and it's gone.

Even so, the rich merchant was very satisfied, and boasted of Tuoba Zilan's beauty whenever he met people.

Men are all jian skins, Pei Dilan and Murong Bo are no exception, the two of them went to admire, but they first sent a maid to test their talents, and the two had to go back to their homes and come back to ask for help.

After listening to what happened, Li You smiled and said: "I'm not good at this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, what's the use of asking me to go?" ”

Pei Dilan said: "Don't you know how to compose poems, and you can also compose poems." ”

In fact, there is no need for Li You to compose poems, just by virtue of his identity, as long as he goes, no one in the entire north will dare not give face. However, Pei Dilan and Murong Bo would not do anything to force other people's young people, and they knew that Li You would not do this, so they hoped that Li You would use poetry to win the favor of beauties.

Hamid also became interested in this Tuoba Zilan, and he said, "Lao Li, otherwise we will go and meet this beauty, right?!" ”
